The Expedition of Uḥud
[ مَقْتَلُ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْجَمُوحِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبِي إسْحَاقُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَشْيَاخٍ مِنْ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ: أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْجَمُوحِ كَانَ رَجُلًا أَعْرَجَ شَدِيدَ الْعَرَجِ، وَكَانَ لَهُ بَنُونَ أَرْبَعَةٌ مِثْلَ الْأُسْدِ، يَشْهَدُونَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَشَاهِدَ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ أَرَادُوا حَبْسَهُ، وَقَالُوا لَهُ: إنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: قَدْ عَذَرَكَ، فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: إنَّ بَنِيَّ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَحْبِسُونِي عَنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ، وَالْخُرُوجِ مَعَكَ فِيهِ. فَوَاَللَّهِ إنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ أَطَأَ بِعَرْجَتِي هَذِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَقَدْ عَذَرَكَ اللَّهُ فَلَا جِهَادَ عَلَيْكَ، وَقَالَ لِبَنِيهِ: مَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ لَا تَمْنَعُوهُ، لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَرْزُقَهُ الشَّهَادَةَ فَخَرَجَ مَعَهُ فَقُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَرَوَى الْإِمَامُ أَحْمَدُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ رِبْعِيٍّ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: أَتَى عَمْرُو بْنُ الْجَمُوحِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قَاتَلْتُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى أُقْتَلَ، أَمْشِي بِرِجْلِي هَذِهِ صَحِيحَةً فِي الْجَنَّةِ - وَكَانَتْ رِجْلُهُ عَرْجَاءَ - فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «نَعَمْ »، فَقَتَلُوهُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَهُوَ وَابْنُ أَخِيهِ وَمَوْلًى لَهُمْ، فَمَرَّ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: «كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْكَ تَمْشِي بِرِجْلِكَ هَذِهِ صَحِيحَةً فِي الْجَنَّةِ » ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَجُعِلُوا فِي قَبْرٍ وَاحِدٍ. انْتَهَى. وَاسْتُشْهِدَ ابْنُهُ خَلَّادُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَرَامٍ وَالِدُ جَابِرٍ فَحَمَلَتْهُمْ هِنْدُ بِنْتُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَرَامٍ زَوْجَةُ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْجَمُوحِ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ لَهَا تُرِيدُ بِهِمُ الْمَدِينَةَ، فَلَقَتْهَا أُمُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَائِشَةُ ؓ - وَقَدْ خَرَجَتْ فِي نِسْوَةٍ تَسْتَرْوِحُ الْخَبَرَ، وَلَمْ يُضْرَبِ الْحِجَابُ يَوْمَئِذٍ، فَقَالَتْ لَهَا: هَلْ عِنْدَكِ خَبَرٌ ؟ مَا وَرَاءَكِ ؟ قَالَتْ: أَمَّا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَالِحٌ وَكُلُّ مُصِيبَةٍ بَعْدَهُ جَلَلٌ. وَاتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهَدَاءَ وَرَدَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِغَيْظِهِمْ لَمْ يَنَالُوا خَيْرًا وَكَفَى اللَّهُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْقِتَالَ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ قَوِيًّا عَزِيزًا [الْأَحْزَابِ 25 ] قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ ؟ قَالَتْ: أَخِي وَابْنِي خَلَّادٌ، وَزَوْجِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْجَمُوحِ. قَالَتْ: وَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبِينَ بِهِمْ ؟ قَالَتْ: إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ أَقْبُرُهُمْ فِيهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ: حَلْ حَلْ، تَزْجُرُ بَعِيرَهَا، فَبَرَكَ، فَقَالَتْ لَهَا عَائِشَةُ: لِمَا عَلَيْهِ ؟ قَالَتْ: مَا ذَاكَ بِهِ لَرُبَّمَا حَمَلَ مَا يَحْمِلُ بَعِيرَانِ، وَلَكِنْ أَرَاهُ لِغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ، وَزَجَرَتْهُ فَقَامَ وَبَرَكَ، فَوَجَّهَتْهُ رَاجِعَةً إِلَى أُحُدٍ، فَأَسْرَعَ فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ بِذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الْجَمَلَ مَأْمُورٌ، هَلْ قَالَ عَمْرٌو شَيْئًا ؟ قَالَتْ: إِنَّ عَمْرًا لَمَّا تَوَجَّهَ إِلَى أُحُدٍ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَرُدَّنِي إِلَى أَهْلِي خَائِبًا وَارْزُقْنِي الشَّهَادَةَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «فَلِذَلِكَ الْجَمَلُ لَا يَمْضِي، إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ - مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ - مَنْ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ لَأَبَرَّهُ. مِنْهُمْ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْجَمُوحِ ، وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ [يَطَأُ ] بِعَرْجَتِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، يَا هِنْدُ، مَا زَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ مُظِلَّةً عَلَى أَخِيكِ مِنْ لَدُنْ قُتِلَ إِلَى السَّاعَةِ يَنْتَظِرُونَ أَيْنَ يُدْفَنُ »، ثُمَّ مَكَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى قَبَرَهُمْ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «يَا هِنْدُ، قَدْ تَرَافَقُوا فِي الْجَنَّةِ » قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ادْعُ اللَّهَ عَسَى أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مَعَهُمْ.
Translation
✧ [The slaying of ʿAmr b. al-Jamūḥ] Ibn Isḥāq said: My father Isḥāq b. Yasār narrated to me, from elders of the Banū Salimah: that ʿAmr b. al-Jamūḥ was a man severely lame, and he had four sons like lions, who attended the expeditions with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When the day of Uḥud came, they wanted to hold him back, and they said to him: Indeed Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has excused you. So he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: My sons want to hold me back from this undertaking and from going out with you in it. By Allah, I hope to tread with this lameness of mine in Paradise. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: As for you, Allah has excused you, so there is no jihād upon you. And he said to his sons: What is upon you that you do not prevent him? Perhaps Allah will grant him martyrdom. So he went out with him and was killed on the day of Uḥud. Imām Aḥmad narrated from Qatādah b. al-Ḥārith b. Ribʿī al-Anṣārī, who said: ʿAmr b. al-Jamūḥ came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: O Messenger of Allah, have you considered, if I fight in the path of Allah until I am killed, will I walk with this leg of mine sound in Paradise?—and his leg was lame. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Yes.' So they killed him on the day of Uḥud, him and his brother's son and a freedman of theirs. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by him and said: 'It is as if I see you walking with this leg of yours sound in Paradise.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded concerning them, and they were placed in a single grave. End. His son Khallād b. ʿAmr was martyred, and ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAmr b. Ḥarām, the father of Jābir. Hind bt. ʿAmr b. Ḥarām, the wife of ʿAmr b. al-Jamūḥ, carried them on a camel of hers, intending to take them to Madinah. The Mother of the Believers ʿĀʾishah ؓ met her—and she had gone out among some women to seek news, and the veil had not yet been imposed at that time. She said to her: Do you have any news? What is behind you? She said: As for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he is safe, and every calamity after him is trivial. Allah took martyrs from among the believers, and Allah turned back those who disbelieved in their rage, they gained no good, and Allah sufficed the believers in fighting, and Allah is Strong, Mighty [al-Aḥzāb 25]. ʿĀʾishah said: Who are these? She said: My brother, and my son Khallād, and my husband ʿAmr b. al-Jamūḥ. She said: Where are you taking them? She said: To Madinah, to bury them there. Then she said: Ḥal ḥal, urging her camel, and it knelt. ʿĀʾishah said to her: Because of what it carries? She said: It is not that; it may carry what two camels carry, but I think it is for something else. And she urged it, and it rose, then knelt again. So she turned it back toward Uḥud, and it hastened. She returned to the Prophet ﷺ and told him of that. He said: The camel is commanded. Did ʿAmr say anything? She said: When ʿAmr turned toward Uḥud, he said: O Allah, do not return me to my family disappointed, and grant me martyrdom. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'That is why the camel does not go on. Among you, O company of the Anṣār, are those who, if they swore an oath by Allah, He would fulfill it for them. Among them is ʿAmr b. al-Jamūḥ, and I have seen him treading with his lameness in Paradise. O Hind, the angels have kept shading your brother from the time he was killed until this hour, waiting to see where he would be buried.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ waited until she had buried them, then said: 'O Hind, they have become companions together in Paradise.' She said: O Messenger of Allah, supplicate Allah that He may place me with them.
